Don’t Sing Through Your Nose

Something many novice singers do is sing through their nose. It’s very easy to do,
but you definitely don’t want your voice to come out sounding nasally and forced. It needs to come right from your
diaphragm. To make sure you’re not singing through your nose, place a finger on it when you sing. It shouldn’t
vibrating. If it is, you’re probably singing through it. Your diaphragm is where all of the power should come
from!

Concentrate on Your
Posture

Agood posture is
absolutely essential when you want your voice to sound amazing. Standing is best, with your chest out and
shoulders back. This allows you to use your vocal chords in the most effective way.

Control Your Breathing

Singing well is all about having control. You need to be able to control your
voice, and a huge part of this is being able to control your breathing. Practice some breathing techniques as often as you can and you should find that your voice sounds so much
better!

Really Listen to What You’re Singing

Instead of being ‘tone deaf’ and not paying attention to what you’re actually
singing, really listen. Listen to yourself sing with a critical ear. Record yourself if it helps! Are you singing
the right notes? How can you improve?

Practice

Practice will help you to become a better singer. Practice using different
techniques, and sing every day to perfect your voice. Just like practicing using an instrument, practicing using
your voice will seriously help you to improve. Sing your favourite songs and practice that way so you don’t get
bored.

Take a Class

If you’re serious about perfecting your voice, take a class and see how you get
on. Even having just a couple of one to one sessions can help you. There are evensinging lessons for beginners online, so you won’t need to leave the comfort of your own home!
